🎹 The BURNERS Return to Reckless Steamy Nights🎸

If you missed The Burners at our latest Reckless Steamy Nights event, you missed an absolute master class in 60s and 70s organ-trio jazz! Founded by JSJBF’s own Ron Rauso, this incredibly tight trio (featuring Dan Kostelnik on organ and David Sang on drums) kept a captive crowd grooving all night long.

From soulful deep cuts like Jimmy Smith’s "Sermon" to blistering, high-energy renditions of classics like "Green Onions," "Summertime," and "Fly Me to the Moon," it was a beautifully curated night of superb instrumentals. We also took a moment at the break to honor local veterans and view the incredible artwork of Vietnam veteran Norman Salt.

👉 Read the full recap and see the setlist on the blog now! https://jsjbf.org/the-burners-return-to-reckless/

✨ Missed the show? You can catch The Burners every Tuesday night from 6-9 PM during their residency at the brand-new Mossuto’s Market on Rt. 35 in Wall. Grab some rave-reviewed Italian food and enjoy the music!
